**The Pipeline: LaTeX → IR → Backend**

.. code-block:: text

    Write in LaTeX:           Parse to IR:              Compile to Backend:
    ───────────────────────  ────────────────────────  ────────────────────
    H = ω σ_z +              HamiltonianIR             QuTiP Qobj
        A cos(ωt) σ_x    →   - terms: [...]       →   NumPy array
        + c_ops         - free_symbols: {ω, A}       JAX function
                          - time_dependent: True      Custom backend

**Key Features:**

- ✅ Physics-style LaTeX input
- ✅ Multiple backends (QuTiP, JAX, NumPy, custom)
- ✅ Time-dependent Hamiltonians & collapse operators
- ✅ Transparent intermediate representation (IR)
- ✅ Open-system support
- ✅ Boson deformations & custom subsystems
